Almost six weeks since its release and still no Weekend Warrior pricing for Big Al. Upgrade price $99.99 + VAT - $25 (voucher) = about 75 euros is too much for my budget. Maybe it's selling like Oasis' (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? back in 1995.
Optimal number of audio plugins is one more than you currently have.

I usually don’t notice any sales on PA’s new plugins until at least 6 mth, maybe a year after its initial release.

I could be wrong, though, but that’s my initial observation.

I just demo'd this for the first time (I've been good and patient, waiting for a sale that puts it under $50) and I'm immediately impressed. I've got an open project that's nearly complete - all that's left tracking-wise was to replace the acoustic guitar scratch track with a proper take. The scratch track wasn't unusable to begin with, but I do them fairly hastily to get things going. This one was done in an untreated basement, using an EV 635a, with little regard for placement. (Gotta move quick when inspiration strikes!) Again, not unusable, but a bit boxy and sterile. I tossed Big Al on there (no other inserts or eq at all) and holy cow ya'll! It breathed life into that acoustic! It sparkled and settled right into the mix with no more than 30 seconds of knob fiddling. Perfect sweetener. I bought it based on this alone and I think I'm gonna get a lot of use out of this one.

Nice. How did you get that price?

strange. didn't work for me.

What didn’t work? If you already spent your August voucher, you didn’t get another one…

I did get a new august voucher yesterday but it's still invalid.

But had you spent your August voucher already? Or had you not used it?

Anyone who hadn't already used their voucher got an "Oops my bad" reactivation because they disabled them one day before their stated expiry date. If you'd already used the voucher, then their premature expiration made no difference to you, and as I said, you didn't get a second one - you just got another chance to use your August voucher if you hadn't already used it.

I mean the very title of that email is:
"All unused $25 August Loyalty Vouchers reactivated!"
which is pretty self-eplanatory.

With PA, even if you've already used your voucher, you still get reminders about voucher expiry dates and so on, but they clearly say in those:

"Already Used Your Loyalty Voucher?
Apologies if you received this reminder even if you have used your monthly loyalty voucher already."

I guess I must have used it then and just don't remember hah! Too many vouchers over time. Thanks for the reply.

About 1.5 years ago, my vouchers stopped working. I contacted them and they told me "they've been used" though I was sure they hadn´t been used. So after telling them where to shove up their vouchers, I've been giving some away and selling some as well and they all worked for other people perfectly fine. So, in brief, yes, it is possible that you didn't use it and it's still invalid. I would tell you to contact customer service, but I know how much they'd care...

Got it for 39$ in the end. Screw it! The sound is just so good. I have a dozen tube plugins but the color of this one is just right.
